Matthew 3 (EKKPKP)

1Mõne aja pärast hakkas tegutsema ristija Johannes ning ta kuulutas Juuda kõrbes:In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea

2„Parandage meelt, sest taevariik on tulnud!“and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

3Tema oli see, kellest Jesaja kõneles, kui ta ütles: „Kõrbes kuuldakse häält hüüdmas: „Valmistage Issandale teed! Tehke rajad tema jaoks sirgeks!““This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’”

4Johannese riided olid tehtud kaameli karvadest ja tal oli ümber nahkvöö. Tema toiduks olid jaanikaunad ja metsmesi.John wore a garment of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.

5Rahvas tuli tema juurde Jeruusalemmast, tervest Juudast ja kogu Jordani piirkonnastPeople went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region around the Jordan.

6nad ristiti Jordani jões ning nad tunnistasid avalikult oma patte.Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

7Aga kui Johannes nägi ristimisele tulemas palju varisere ja sadusere, ütles ta neile: „Te rästikute sigitised! Kes hoiatas teid tulevase kohtu eest põgenema?But when John saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his place of baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

8Näidake tegudega, et olete tõeliselt meelt parandanud,Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance.

9ja ärge julgege uhkelt endamisi öelda: „Aabraham on meie isa.“ Ma ütlen teile, et Jumal võib teha Aabrahamile lapsi neist kividest.And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.

10Tegelikult on kirves valmis puid maha raiuma. Iga puu, mis ei kanna head vilja, raiutakse maha ja heidetakse tulle.The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

11Jah, mina ristin teid veega meeleparanduse ilmutamiseks, aga pärast mind tuleb see, kes on minust suurem. Ma ei ole väärt isegi tema sandaale lahti päästma. Tema ristib teid Püha Vaimu ja tulega.I baptize you with water for repentance, but after me will come One more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

12Tal on käes valmis sari. Ta puhastab rehealuse ja kogub nisu aita, kuid aganad põletab ta ära tulega, mida ei saa kustutada.“His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

13Siis tuli Jeesus Galileast Jordani jõe äärde, et lasta end Johannesel ristida.At that time Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.

14Kuid Johannes üritas tema meelt muuta. Ta ütles Jeesusele: „Mul on vaja, et sina mind ristiksid, ja sina tuled minu juurde, et ma su ristiks?“But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?”

15„Palun tee seda, sest meie jaoks on hea teha seda, mis Jumala sõnul on õige,“ vastas Jeesus talle. Niisiis oli Johannes nõus seda tegema.“Let it be so now,” Jesus replied. “It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness in this way.” Then John permitted Him.

16Kohe pärast seda, kui Jeesus sai ristitud, tuli ta vest välja. Taevad avanesid ja ta nägi Jumala Vaimu nagu tuvi laskumas ja tema peale tulemas.As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him.

17Hääl taevast ütles: „See on minu poeg, keda ma armastan, kellest mul on hea meel.“And a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!”
